USMC Not Welcome in This School! - Page 3

Speaking of guns and schools - the 7 year old here told me he is allowed to take a toy to the afterschool program he's enrolled in but it can't be a gun even if it's only a toy gun because "they aren't allowed on school property." then with a look of total disgust he said "Can you believe that?!" He can wear his junior BDUs to school though.

Our local ISD also has the zero tolerance policy and would not allow t-shirts with weapons pictured on them, for any reason.

Even though he taught in public school, Dad always believed uniforms were the way to go and said so whenever student or teacher clothing was the topic.

Our homeschool Enrichment Classes dress code includes no tank tops, no short dresses/skirts/shorts (4 inches above the knee or longer). Shorts were not allowed at all until the exercise classes were complaining about not having enough time to change clothes. Weightlifting participants had to wear pants (athletic clothing) below the knee, but now can wear shorts. NRA t-shirts are okay, though.

Side note:
Shooting sports is one of the most success programs we have. One of "ours" competes in NRA and has been Junior Olympic champion.

Maybe we should follow the example of Estonia:

When I was in High School, the "USAF Rock Band" came to show us how cool military life was. We didn't have anything like that above. That has to be almost as far from "Zero-Tolerance" as you can get. These are courtesy of the Estonian Defense Forces, BTW: http://www.mil.ee/~fotek/gallery/vie...album62&page=3

WTF? All I got as a kid were G.I Joes... Rocket Launchers are SO much more fun!

Those pictures are somewhat unnerving, maybe it's my liberal blood boiling...

What I find ironic, to say the least, is that the US is supposed to be the violent warmonger cowboy culture, but I don't recall any Army units bringing machine guns and ATGMs to my high school, and we suspend kids for wearing T-Shirts with rifles on them. Meanwhile, in those Scandinavian paradises of the liberal imagination, they constantly run kids through mini-boot camps and have these show-and-tell days. This photo essay on the Estonian Defense Forces website is just one example; similar articles and photo-essays may be seen on the Swedish, Finnish, Latvian and Danish armed forces websites. And the Germans have a website, Treffpunkt Bundeswehr fÃ¼r Jugendliche, which is basically the "Armed Forces for Kids".
